At Jet Safety International, we offer eight different jet training courses. We offer Second In Command (SIC) type ratings in Cessna Citation CE-500 and CE-525. We offer Pilot In Command (PIC) type ratings in Cessna Citation CE-500 and CE-525. We also offer Second In Command (SIC) recurrent training in Cessna Citation CE-500 and CE-525. We offer Pilot In Command (PIC) recurrent training in Cessna Citation CE-500 and CE-525.

Ground School and Cockpit Procedures Training

All of our Cessna citation trainings include a comprehensive ground school. The duration of ground school depends on the course you are enrolled in. SIC Type rating and recurrent training course ground school is usually one day and PIC type rating ground school is usually five to seven days. Cockpit Procedures Training is done in the actual aircraft connected to a Ground Power Unit (GPU). This will allow for familiarization of the switches and controls and checklist procedures.

Type Rating Training (CE-500 or CE-525 PIC and CE-500 or CE-525 SIC)

For PIC Type Ratings, a comprehensive manual including aircraft systems, performance, weight and balance, and pertinent regulations is provided for pre-course home study (recommended 40 hours). The CE-525 ground school is approved by the FAA under 14 CFR Part 141, including 40+ hours of classroom ground school. After ground school and Cockpit Procedures Training, one must complete instruction in the aircraft regarding all the maneuvers and procedures in the Airline Transport Pilot and Type Rating for Airplane Airman Certification Standards to meet the required proficiency (1 or 2 days).

With ground and flight training completed, you will take the practical test with the FAA examiner for the PIC type rating lasting about 3 hours for paperwork and the oral examination and 3 hours for preflight briefing, aircraft inspection, and flight evaluation.

For SIC Type Ratings, a manual including aircraft systems, performance, weight and balance, and pertinent regulations is provided for pre-course home study (recommended 8 hours). There will be one day of ground school and one day for flying

Recurrent Training (CE-500 or CE-525 PIC and CE-500 or CE-525 SIC)

Recurrent training is required (usually annually) by regulation to continue to fly a jet aircraft in the capacity of SIC or PIC. This training is provided to pilots already qualified and experienced in the aircraft. The course usually has one day of ground school and one day of flying.
